RE: This is the year!
I have been flying RC since 1953.
Been through it all Scale, Pattern, Imac, Electrics.
Back in the 60's Everyone envisioned being able to fly a jet with a transmitter which would give you proportional control. Last year I finally got into Jets. I chose the Boomerang Elan. What a great airplane. Flys like a pattern ship, just about lands by itself. You could not ask for a better airplane to introduce you to jets.
Go for it you won't regret it.
